And you got it. L and 1100, if I'm not mistaken. Okay. By the way, Donnie, this is Dylan, you're speaking with. Um, thank you, bye the way, for calling Langzes Technical Support. And also, um, let me just, um, run some verification with your Linksys router. Um, the serial number of your Linksys router is 6 0 C 10 M.
05:00
Speaker 1
how much or so? I've called I've called ever since I've had it. I've had problems with it. Well, I didn't I didn't know it was going to have to have I don't have the receipt with me. Sir? No, I I said it's been about six months. That's the best I can give you right now, unless I can go. Ghghgh. Jaggh.
07:00
Speaker 2
I've checked here. I've checked here. And I need to verify first when did you purchase this router? Yeah. But the exact date you purchased this router. But can you still remember? Can you still remember when did you purchase this one?
07:00
Speaker 1
I registered it when I bought it.
08:00
Speaker 2
Oh, it's been six months. Okay. I'm checking here the information of the serial number and um I'm still pulling up the you know, the the attached photo here. Yeah, yeah, that's actually what I'm checking right now. 'cause what's uh indicated here on the record is that um the start date of the warranty is way back 2024, which technically would make your router already out of warranty. But yeah, you've mentioned that you just had this like six months ago.
08:00
Speaker 1
I bought it in 24. I'm not I'm not disputing it. I just don't remember the date. What I'm saying is that I've had problems with this thing since day one. Continually it drops the internet. Uh, I have to reset this thing constantly. And I've niece that's got one of these and she don't have any problem with it. So I'm I don't know what you know, y'all got records where I've called and complained about it before. [silence]
09:00
Speaker 2
Oh. yeah, cuz it's, um, just, uh, bear with me. Mmhmm. You don't need to, I've created already airway. Mmhmm. All you need to do is just plug in. You need to refresh the page. Mmm. And you had a, um, reconfiguration done with your router previously. Mmhmm.
09:00
Speaker 1
Yes same issue. It. It doesn't change. I I may get a day. I may get two days before it drops and then it'll start dropping it again. And I've got to reset everything and go through the whole thing over and over again.
10:00
Speaker 2
Okay, sir. okay, sir. okay, um, is it the same issue you've um, raised way back when you called us in, yeah. you need to pick up the phone. oh, okay. Okay. Okay, sir. um, what else did you do aside from resetting it? [silence]
10:00
Speaker 1
Hello. I'm here. [silence] Well, you unplug the modem. [silence] And you unplug the router. [silence] And you unplug the keyboard and then you wait 15 minutes [silence] then you go back and you start plugging everything back up and letting it boot back up. [silence] And then you wait for an hour before you get anything totally completely booted back up. [silence] And I'm just getting frustrated with it. [silence]
11:00
Speaker 2
Well, both devices are blinking now. Hello? Yes, Sir Danny. Yeah. Aside from resetting it, what have you done so far? Give it at least a maximum of five minutes. It doesn't [silence] Mhm. Mhm. Yeah. Mhm. Mhm. Yes, I totally understand where you come [silence] coming from, you know, considering that the issue keeps on appearing since you've mentioned since day one, which technically is really a burden. So here's the thing, Sir Donnie. Based on the record, it's as what I've mentioned earlier, it indicates here that start date of the warranty is 2024 and for this specific model, sir, it only has like a one-year warranty. Unfortunately, for out of warranty devices, we no longer provide a free troubleshooting assistance over the phone. However, if you can provide us like the receipt or the invoice you had when you purchased this router, for us to validate the exact
11:00
Speaker 1
Okay. So you basically, you're telling me that I bought a bad one. And I'm screwed. Okay. I told y'all before and explained about this, it would be different. But I have told you over and over again, I'm having problems with this thing. Y'all can't fix it. [silence]
13:00
Speaker 2
date that you purchased this one because we also cannot neglect the fact that you've mentioned it was six months ago, so that we can verify it and validate the warranty and change it here so that we can help you with troubleshooting without the paid connect service. Uh, not that I meant it's a bad one. What I meant is that based on our record here, the device is already out of warranty. So for out of warranty devices, we no longer provide a free troubleshooting assistance over the phone.
13:00
Speaker 1
Well I just need to go buy a different
14:00
Speaker 2
uh yes sir we we're going to help you with uh reconfiguration but then again the device is already uh uh out of warranty based on our system that's why we need to validate it because um we uh we are unable to pull up the photo that you uh you attach when you register the device uh we you know sir donny oh we uh we respect your uh decision so you turn on one and then wait for it to become blue before you proceed to the last cell or to the second one can we do that now yes correct hello sir okay so uh... i actually did reviewed your uh... record here and the first time you reached out to us, it was way back, uh, September 10th of 2025 and you've mentioned that you bought it, like, um, on September of 2025, which is still within the warranty if you're going to, um, trace it back the last, I mean, the first time you reached out to us. So, yeah, um, okay, uh, here's what I'm going to do. Um, we're going to proceed with the troubleshooting. However, um, if we found out that the device is, uh, indeed having an issue, but technically, since you've already reached out to us a couple of times with the same issue, we probably need to, have this further checked with our, level
14:00
Speaker 1
Well, I might as well hang up and go look for a receipt because we're not going to get no further with this until I do. Who's that? I'll tell 'em. I'll go see if I can find the receipt. Who's it from? Probably Amazon. Okay. Okay. Thank you.
17:00
Speaker 2
well for level two tech, but uh, in order for us to do that, we need to, you know, the, to validate it with the receipt. So, for now, um, can I put you on hold for at least two to three minutes and have this discussed with our level two tech? Okay. Uh, no worries, sir. Uh, let me just put you on hold, okay? And I'll get back to you. Just stay on the line. [silence] Hello, hello, sir. Uh, let me just put you on hold, okay? I'll be back. All right.
